Hi everyone,you must of heard of the saying "laughter is the best medicine",well I think its true,if I ever feel a bit down,I will watch my favorite comedy and being English,I love Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses.and they really lift me into a good mood.So I will start with a joke.
A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting. “Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks. The two Americans just stare at him. “Excusez-moi, parlez vous Fracais?” he tries. The two continue to stare. “Parlare Italiano?” No response. “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.” “Why?” says the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn’t do him any good.”
I think its funny that when someone is talking to a person that cant speak their language very well,they shout as if the poor person is deaf,or they start waving their arms around to try to get them to understand.
Another thing I do to lift my mood is play my favorite music,either in the house,the car,or go for a walk with my Ipod on,plus the exercise and fresh air makes you feel better.you just have to make sure you are not singing away,oblivious to the fact you dont sound as good as you think to people walking close to you.
We are nearly into spring here in New Zealand,the nights are still cold,but the days this past week have been warm and sunny,long may it continue.I would love it if people who read this send me a comment on where they live and what the climate is like.I love to travel,I have been to America 3 times,and worked in Egypt for 5 years,where I worked on a Peacekeepers Military camp.It was a wonderful 5 years,I will tell you more about life there in another blog.
I hope you are all happy with your life,and please think positive,next time you walk past someone smile at them,and most likely they will smile back and pass it on to someone else.Till next time.......Tony

I totally agree with you Tony mate, It is too easy to start feeling down in the dumps and if you only have yourself to reason with it happens even faster. Walks along Lake Taupo this time of year must be awesome alright although a bit on the cool side. I often think of the laughs you and I used to have in the Kitchen at 'The Heritage', do you remember the nick names (CC, The Growth, etc etc) the list goes on. Totally agree with you re the Pommy sense of humour I love 'BREAD' and 'Open all Hours', 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' was another hilarious show.
ReplyDeleteMust catch up for a cold pint soon mate.
Keep ya blog going I'm sure you can get some pretty hard case topics going as you were never short of a bit of good old English sarcasm.
